The Holt Sessions: Graveyard Smash Exclusive Interview It’s not everyday a monster scores a sit down with one of the hottest musical groups to haunt the charts for centuries! When I found out I nabbed an interview with the epically awesome Graveyard Smash, I couldn’t help but flame out (just a little): HH: HUGE thanks for agreeing to this sit down, guys! I have to admit; I’m a pretty epic Smash-head. GS: That’s great, Holt. We’re more than happy to oblige. It’s not every century we meet a die-hard fan like you, especially one so young. HH: So most of your fans are older… like, ancient older? GS: When you’ve been around the graveyard as many times as we have, you end up with an interesting population of monster followers, young and old. HH: You have a coffin load of fans at Monster High! Your creeperific music is always on fire at every school dance! GS: Well that’s freakishly brilliant then, isn’t it? What song gets them moving most? HH: Mosh Mash is a pretty hot request. Can you explain the story behind it? GS: We wrote that song eons ago… back when we were still fresh corpses on the scene. It’s really a quite simple song about falling in love with music at your very first concert. HH: It’s scorchin’ – definitely one of my all-time favorites! Tell me, do you listen to any new acts on the charts today? GS: That DJ Death Breath is rather deadlightful, I’d say. We listen to his music on the bus between gigs. HH: HOTT! If I gave you some sizzling new jams by an up-and-coming new artist, would you be willing to listen? GS: Who’s the bloke? HH: Holt Hyde, baby! If this music doesn’t make you want to partaay, I don’t know what will get you moving! GS: For one of our biggest Smash-heads? Anything.

Wish for New Student Bodies Granted With epic rumors beginning to circulate about Monster High’s newest student body, the MHGG decided it was time to nail down an exclusive interview with new ghoul and Daughter of the Genie, Gigi Grant. Thank gore we caught up with the renowned world traveler before she had to fly off and help another ghoul check wishes off her list. Gory Gazette: Gigi, we hear you’ve got quite the penchant for travel. Gigi: That’s the creeperific part about what I do – any monster wish is my command and lots of ghouls scream of world travel! Gory Gazette: How UHHH-mazing. Any freaky fave locales? Gigi: I’m obsessed with wide open spaces, so deserts are at the top of my list. The Scarehara and Moanhave are two all-time faves. Gory Gazette: Any advice you’d want to give to our travel hungry readers? Gigi: Don’t be in a hurry! The whole point of experiencing new frights and sounds is to make memories that will last an unlife time. Enjoy yourself and don’t be in a rush to just check something off your list. Gory Gazette: Creeperific! Rumor has it your after school job keeps you pretty busy. Can you tell us more about it? Gigi: My family has always been in the wish granting business; we are genies after all. 13 wishes for any monster that finds my lantern, but be warned – I never fall for that “wish for more wishes” nonsense. Oldest trick in the book.

Getting Catty with Catrine In case you haven’t purred, another werecat has clawed her way into town and this new kitty’s got a special flavor: Scarisian. The purrfection-obsessed Catrine DeMew took a few moments out of her busy portrait schedule to discuss a few of her favorite things with our staff writer: Gory Gazette: So, how did you meet the ghouls? Catrine: In Scaris, of course. Clawdeen was on a noble mission to become a world famous fashion designer. Not my cup of tea, I prefer fine arts, but I’m hopeful she achieves her hopes and screams. Gory Gazette: Rumor has it you’re obsessed with purrfection. Catrine: No rumor, ‘tis true. Why do less than your very beast? My sketches must be purrfect! Gory Gazette: Achievement is very important and a true cornertomb of Monster High, but how do you know when you’ve done the beast you can do? Catrine: When my whiskers start twitching I know it might be time to move on… but, oh, it is so très difficile! I’d rather keep at my sketches furever. Oh well, c’est la vie. Gory Gazette: Recently, the creepateria started experimenting in Scarisian cuisine, so we’re dying to know which protein you prefer as a staple: fish or chicken? Catrine: I’ll beat the monster with a baguette who makes me choose! Trop difficile. I do enjoy a steaming bowl of Bouillabaisse, but I’ve been known to purr over Coq au Vin. But dearie, I would just die without my favorite desserts. If you’re nice in the rest of this interview perhaps I may give you my grandmew’s recipe for mille-feuille, the most delightful puff dessert I’ve ever licked. Gory Gazette: Really?! Catrine: Oui! Gory Gazette: Perhaps we should end now? Catrine: Oui, I do really need to get back to my latest sketch. Headmistress Bloodgood has commissioned me to paint a portrait of her nightmare for her office! Gory Gazette: Well, Catrine, it’s been a delight. Thanks for perching with us and we can’t wait to see your latest works of art. Catrine: My pleaspurr.

Chinese New Year with Jinafire Long Happy Chinese New Year, ghouls! To help us all celebrate in style, MHGG caught up with the newest ghoul in town, Jinafire Long, who happens to be a Chinese dragon (and also happens to be scarily stylish!). MHGG: Hi Jinafire! Thanks for meeting with us; we know you are still recovering from the celebration. Jinafire: It’s true! I was running around like a dragon that got its tail stuck in a mousetrap! It’s a big night for my family. At midnight we made quite a racket; lighting fireworks, bamboo sticks and fire crackers to ward off any bad spirits in the New Year. MHGG: That sounds like a big party! Why is red the official color of the New Year? Jinafire: Well, I think red complements my scales and it’s one of my favorite colors to use in my fashion designs. But we also hang red lanterns and scrolls in our windows to ward off the legendary Nián. MHGG: Wait, tell us more, what it that? Jinafire: Well, you mean “who”! Nián is a mythical beast that used to harass villagers on the first day of the New Year. They would put food on their doorsteps to appease the monster, but eventually someone discovered he was afraid of the color red, and well, you get the picture. After that Nián didn’t bother the village. MHGG: Wow, who knew! Jinafire: Well I did, obviously. (Smoke smolders out of Jin’s nostrils)MHGG: Of course. So what about new screams and wishes for 2013? Jinafire: For starters, I’m always looking for new fashion design inspiration! I’d also like to keep my temper from flaring up. It’s so embarrassing to confess, but there was a moment last year when I got so frustrated with a dress I was sewing, I almost tore it to shreds! MHGG: Sounds terrifying! Jinafire: It could have been a nightmare. Luckily, my ghouls in the fashion club helped me cool off and the piece was saved. I’ve been working hard to keep calm and carry on since then.  MHGG: Well you certainly have a flair for fashion. We see big things headed your way in 2013. Jinafire: Thanks. And thanks for spreading the love on one of my freaky-fave howlidays!  Happy Chinese New Year!

MH Boys Dish Dirt on V-Day Surprises With Valentine’s Day just 9 freaky-fab days away, the halls are abuzz with monsters lurking for the beast treat to surprise their special ghouls. Always on the haunt for the inside scoop, Spectra took some time to ask the guys how they plan to make monsters’ hearts flutter this year. “I stick with the classics, like a bouquet of water lilies,” said Gil. And for those monsters whose tastes are more food inclined? “A nice dinner at the new, trendy and vegan-friendly Thai restaurant,” said Clawd, who added that he let his date pick the destination. In fact, food seems to be a theme this year: “I’ll be cooking a candlelight dinner for two. I think the effort that goes into it makes it more special,” said Deuce. “And I’ll also have a piece of gold jewelry in my pocket as an extra surprise!” Lurks like some monsters are in for a very yummy holiday!

Lagoona Fishes for Love Advice Lagoona here with special guest, C. A. Cupid, who’s agreed to answer a few questions about what she knows beast: love! So let’s get started: Lagoona: Thanks for chatting with me, Cupid! Cupid: It’s my pleasure to be here! Lagoona: First things first, how do you get over first date fishes swimming in your stomach? Cupid: I love taking the time to pamper myself while getting ready, and remember to just be your unique self on the date. Being nervous is expected, but a first date is really just an opportunity for two people to get to know each other better. Lagoona: Great advice, mate! What do you think are the most important things to make a relationship successful? Cupid: Every relationship is different, but I think the two most important things are communication and caring. It’s important to be open about how you’re feeling, to listen to your boyfriend/ghoulfriend and to show them how much you care. Little things, like a piece of chocolate left in a locker or holding books, go a long way! Lagoona: That makes a lot of sense. Now, I have a more personal question. What is a ghoul to do when the parents of the boy she’s crushing on disapprove of her? Cupid: That’s a really tough situation. You don’t want to overstep boundaries, but true love is true love. Patience is really important when you’re facing something like this. Lagoona: Thanks, ghoulfriend. How do you know it’s true love? Cupid: I think it’s true love when someone can still give you butterflies in your stomach and also be that person you feel comfortable telling your deepest secrets to. Wise advice, indeed. What to you think, ghouls? Reblog and comment! - Lagoona

Rochelle’s Guide to Scaris

Each Scarisian should have:

• A beret

• A scary-cute striped black and white top

Et voilà! You have a wardrobe that can only be described as très monsterfique!

While you’re in Scaris, you will also be unearthed by the architecture.

Scaris is known for its high voltage structures. Be on the lurk out for:

Skelita Calaveras Unearthed Gory Gazette: Well, Skelita your arrival has been highly anticipated. Skelita: It does appear that way, no? I am not used to such attention and it is a little intimidating. Gory Gazette: Of corpse, Monster High can be a bit overwhelming at first, but its howl is much worse then its bite when it comes to the student bodies. Speaking of which, have you met any cute werewolves yet? Skelita: Ay chica, werewolves are most definitely not for me! I find they tend to want to chew on my bones – es horrible! Gory Gazette: Riiiiight! Tell us about Hexico. Skelita: I do not know where to begin, because there is so much to tell! I am really missing mi familia right now, and mi casa! Hexico is a very colorful place, with gore-geous playas and jungles. Gory Gazette: That sounds UHH-mazing, do you have a beach house? Skelita: We like to visit my auntie and uncle at the beach, but mi familia lives in the jungle, in a hillside cemetery. Gory Gazette: That must be beautiful, but what did you do for entertainment way up in the middle of nowhere? Skelita: Oh plenty of things! We Calaveras love to celebrate un-life by throwing huge fiestas. I love to make decorations and diorama of family and friends. I also love to paint faces. Gory Gazette: Speaking of - your face lurks wonderful! What’s your beauty routine? Skelita: I am flattered you think so. While I am no expert, I always use a good moisturizer to start! I’m obsessed with false eyelashes and pastel pink lipstick but I always wash my face with a warm washcloth before I hit the coffin. Gory Gazette: Thanks so much for sitting down with us - we’re so glad you’re haunting our halls now! Skelita: No, thank you! I am dead-lighted to be here.

Charged Up For Howliday Help One thing that totally gets me charged up is helping my fellow monster. It’s especially important to stitch together some time around the howlidays to make sure everyone has a creeperific celebration. Grab some of your ghoulfriends and bolt out to do some good - it will really help you get into the giving spirit. Here are just a few terrorific ways you can lend a hand this season: • Donate old clothes. You might not fit into them anymore, but somewhere there’s a guy or ghoul who could use them. If you don’t have any clothes to give, consider donating old books to the local library or community center. • Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Shelters always need volunteers serving food, especially during the howlidays. • Chores are a grrreat place to start. Try raking leaves or shoveling snow for someone who can’t do it himself or herself. Or maybe help a neighbor cook a howliday meal. These are all fangtastic ways to get to know your neighbors while also lending a helping hand. • Organize a Clean Up Day. Schools, parks and beaches are always lurking for volunteers to help keep them clean. • Study Howl Sessions. Take those freaky-fab biteology skills and help a guy or ghoul who may be struggling to keep up – finals are just around the corner, so your help will be truly appreciated. Remember it only takes one monster to make a difference in someone’s life. Reblog and tell me how you’re helping out this howliday season!
